[00:00] <hugospinto> Jordan_U cool. that seems simple enough then. will just resize partition using gparted
[00:01] <ezs-floggin-pipe> Thank you Mibix.... I haven't tried that
[00:04] <Mibix> are you being sarcastic ezs-floggin-pipe?
[00:06] <ezs-floggin-pipe> Nope
[00:06] <ezs-floggin-pipe> I don't like windows
[00:06] <Mibix> ahh
[00:06] <ezs-floggin-pipe> my gaming adictions are gettin in the way of migration though
[00:06] <Mibix> i love my windows for gaming but for my server ubuntu is insanely more efficient
[00:07] <ezs-floggin-pipe> thats what I hear and why I am desiring the migrate
[00:07] <Mibix> lol well i just lost 15tb of my server today but it was mostly just me being dumb
[00:08] <Mibix> it is well worth the speed increases i saw
[00:08] <ezs-floggin-pipe> there are somethings I like with windows, like being able to shut it off
[00:08] <Mibix> shut what off?
[00:08] <ezs-floggin-pipe> but mostly I am a Unix lover, just with I knew more about the Unix OS and the c\variants
[00:08] <ezs-floggin-pipe> I like How Windows can be shut off
[00:08] <Mibix> i havent used linux in like 15 years but wte its time
[00:08] <ezs-floggin-pipe> it always works
[00:09] <ezs-floggin-pipe> I dislike the immature behavoirs foundin Windows Gamers too
[00:10] <ezs-floggin-pipe> they remind me of Angry xBox users  lol
[00:10] <Mibix> what games
[00:10] <ezs-floggin-pipe> I am not Picky really
[00:10] <Mibix> elite dangerous has been my favorite game for a while and it has really mature users, mostly international too
[00:10] <Jordan_U> !ot | ezs-floggin-pipe Mibix
[00:10] <ezs-floggin-pipe> I avoid Role-Play but like Action Role-Play.  I have like 300 + Games and I play them when IU can
[00:11] <Mibix> rgr sorry
[00:11] <ezs-floggin-pipe> So anyway that is why I am here

[00:14] <Mibix> ezs-floggin-pipe lets talk in offtopic
[00:16] <puffinz> Does a Ubuntu server install prompt you for what services to install at boot?
[00:17] <genii> puffinz: Usually, yes, it uses tasksel

[00:31] <tekeli-li> aww, poor Mibix :(
[00:40] <c-pin> hey guys so i started running solus on my old hp ultrabook but i wanted to switch to xubuntu. the usb wont even detect as bootable on 64 bit or 32 bit, but its a 64 bit architecture anyways
[00:40] <c-pin> it boots into solus just fine
[00:40] <reisio> what's solus
[00:40] <c-pin> some retard linux distro
[00:40] <reisio> ah
[00:40] <reisio> c-pin: so the ubuntu usb won't boot?
[00:40] <c-pin> reisio, yeah not sure why
[00:40] <c-pin> i checked to make sure it worked on rufus
[00:41] <xangua> c-pin: how did you create it?
[00:41] <c-pin> xangua, rufus
[00:41] <c-pin> same way i made the solus one
[00:41] <c-pin> tnhen again i used a 32gb usb...
[00:41] <c-pin> l/emme try this 8gb one
[00:43] <c-pin> writing to usb. wml
[00:43] <Jordan_U> c-pin: It's quite likely that the USB drive has just gone bad.
[00:43] <Jordan_U> c-pin: Also, please don't use "retard" as a derogetory term in this channel.
[00:44] <c-pin> Jordan_U, good news is it shows up fine in windows
[00:44] <c-pin> as a drive and i can format it
[00:47] <_Sym_> Well,Thunar is not crashing like Nautilus was when I use the delete key on my keyboard.
[00:47] <_Sym_> Something is funky with Nautilus on 16.04
[00:49] <MisterPizza> hello world
[00:49] <reisio> hello, world
[00:49] <MisterPizza> can u read me?
[00:49] <reisio> c-pin: so gnu/linux is on it right now?
[00:49] <SQL> MisterPizza: I read you
[00:50] <MisterPizza> great
[00:51] <designbybeck> Chromecast on Ubuntu 16.04? Which one, if any, works for streaming your whole desktop to a TV? I thought I saw that was possible on Linux?
[00:52] <puffinz> Any Chrome browsers does full remote desktop emulation... which is a blessing or a curse.
[00:52] <designbybeck> so gen1 and gen 2 puffinz?
[00:53] <designbybeck> for the Chromecast Device itself puffinz?
[00:53] <puffinz> It all depends what you want to use your chromecast for
[00:53] <c-pin> reisio, yeah
[00:54] <puffinz> Personally id by a SoC device and install whatever you want
[00:54] <c-pin> solus is still booting, xubuntu doesnt like it or sometnhing
[00:54] <designbybeck> puffinz: well mostly watching youtube anyway, but some Kodi? would that display?
[00:54] <designbybeck> ah
[00:54] <c-pin> the leds flash but it boots directly to solus at lowest prioritp
[00:54] <MisterPizza> guys u know how make it work sopcast for ubuntu?
[00:55] <reisio> c-pin: if you have /boot/grub, you can just tell grub to boot an install image directly
[00:55] <designbybeck> like a RaspberryPi as a SoC puffinz and just control it that way? We are using a laptop and a bukly HDMI cable ,but it is doing damage to the HDMI port on this laptop
[00:55] <c-pin> reisio, mmm thats a good idea
[00:55] <c-pin> the fact that it WONT boot though is what scares me
[00:55] <c-pin> because that prcobably means its not compatible with my system
[00:55] <reisio> there are a lot of variables
[00:55] <MisterPizza> i remake question, u know how see sports event live streaming with good quality?
[00:56] <puffinz> Yeah, theres lots of neat multimedia devices out there.... chromecast is nice. its cheap.
[00:56] <reisio> whether the usb stick is good, whether the image is good, whether you're copying it right, whether your bios/etc. is configured properly, whether your usb ports are sound/normal, etc., etc.
[00:56] <c-pin> set up plex on a pi 2
[00:56] <puffinz> I usually use MythTV
[00:56] <Ben64> MisterPizza: doesn't sound like an ubuntu issue
[00:56] <puffinz> and the raspberry pi
[00:56] <MisterPizza> Ben64 Ubuntu has not issues
[00:56] <MisterPizza> :)
[00:56] <designbybeck> Ok thanks puffinz we might go grab a chromecast.. I use raspberrypi on my setup, but trying to make it easy on her for her stuff
[00:59] <MisterPizza> i dont want break rules of chat, (mostly because i dont know them) anyway i ask you that u know many tricks of web if is possible see sports events live with good quality with ubuntu (obviously)
[01:00] <MisterPizza> i apologize if my question is forbidden, i didnt know it
[01:01] <MisterPizza> i asked one of common stuff, that everyone is interested in
[01:01] <MisterPizza> seriously i dont know if i asked something forbidden
[01:01] <Ben64> MisterPizza: this channel is for ubuntu issues only
[01:02] <MisterPizza> yes i ask for a software using under ubuntu
[01:02] <MisterPizza> ok doesnt matter
[01:02] <MisterPizza> lets talk of something else
[01:03] <MisterPizza> im new of linux
[01:03] <MisterPizza> on*
[01:03] <MisterPizza> first distro installed as been ubuntu for me
[01:03] <MisterPizza> i know nothing about ubuntu
[01:04] <Bashing-om> !manual | MisterPizza
[01:04] <puffinz> MisterPizza: You should try LFS, way easier
[01:04] <MisterPizza> LFS?
[01:05] <puffinz> Yeah, Its a command line based interface. Makes you learn.
[01:07] <MisterPizza> guys what is best distro?
[01:07] <MisterPizza> ull say me Ubuntu off course
[01:07] <MisterPizza> ubuntu is nice i like it
[01:08] <MisterPizza> but i dont know other distro
[01:08] <MisterPizza> linux mint?? archlinux? debian
[01:09] <MisterPizza> do u have an AntyVirus?
[01:09] <puffinz> Ubuntu is easy if your just learning
[01:09] <MisterPizza> or useless?
[01:09] <puffinz> Stick with Ubuntu.
[01:09] <Ben64> if you just want to chat, please use #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:09] <Bashing-om> MisterPizza: Ya burn lots of liveUSBs. and see which one(s) "you: like the best .

[01:17] <fa0> Hello all
[01:18] <MWM> Im looking at a usb wifi adapter for an ancient laptop runnin Lubuntu, but only WIndows is listed in the spec page http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-adapters/a6210.aspx#tab-techspecs
[01:18] <MWM> any chance of this working for me?
[01:19] <fa0> I'm running Ubuntu as a guest in qemu, does anyone know about the screen resoultion, for the display manager, when you log in with your user at this display, where it's drawing the size of the screen resolution from? Because in qemu it's filling up my entire host desktop size, but when I log in, and I'm in Unity have the correct desktop resolution appear...
[01:24] <squinty> !wifi | MWM
[01:25] <MWM> thanks
[01:25] <avoider> Eric^^
[01:25] <avoider> you around?
[01:27] <avoider> whatever we did last night messed up the entire system
[01:27] <avoider> i cant even see my harddrive no more
[01:27] <avoider> and only can get ubuntu to use uefi
[01:27] <avoider> if i use legacy i get a error
[01:27] <avoider> Invaild boot partiton
[01:32] <avoider> Anyone know a way to fix this?
[01:38] <MWM> @ avoider : is a fresh install an option?  sounds like things are janked pretty bad.
[01:38] <MWM> hopefully someone can give you better help though
[02:06] <Knemon> how can I redirect an http request from port 80 to another one for a specific domain on my local machine?
[02:11] <smokeyj> Ok, been running Redhat/fedora since dawn of time. Just installed Ubuntu on server that I built from scrap. I dont hate it. So whats the trade off?
[02:11] <smokeyj> Where is the nasty little problem?
[02:12] <wedgie> Knemon: sounds like you want a reverse proxy perhaps.
[02:12] <wedgie> Knemon: can you give a more specific example of what you want to do?
[02:14] <Knemon> wedgie, I am developing an app locally - so I created a local domain localhost.dev that binds to 127.0.0.1. my app is on http://localhost.dev:3000. What I want is this: type http://localhost.dev and redirect me on port 3000
[02:15] <wedgie> Knemon: and only 1 app? For example you'll never want to go to http://app2.localhost.dev and get redirected to port 4000?
[02:16] <wedgie> if not, then this will probably be useful: http://askubuntu.com/questions/444729/redirect-port-80-to-8080-and-make-it-work-on-local-machine   If you DO need to have more than one app being sent to different ports then you may want to look into a reverse proxy. Nginx can do that sort of thing
[02:16] <Knemon> maybe
[02:17] <Ben64> better way would be to put it on port 80, or just type blah:4000
[02:17] <Knemon> wedgie, I am running a custom httpd
[02:17] <wedgie> Knemon: shouldn't matter. Reverse proxy would go in front of that
[02:18] <Knemon> hmm
[02:18] <Knemon> I am not quite sure how to implement the reverse proxy. I will look into it too
[02:18] <wedgie> it'll take some reading but it isn't too terrible
[02:18] <Ben64> so make it simpler and just type the proper port, or change the port to 80
[02:19] <wedgie> Knemon: and if it's a one-off you can just use a iptables rule like in the link i sent you
[02:21] <Knemon> iptables is more appealing but the Nginx solution seems solid
[02:22] <wedgie> iptables is definitely the faster/easier solution. But a reverse proxy will be more robust if you need to have several different applications, all available from port 80
[02:23] <maddawg2> reverese proxy is what i use
[02:24] <maddawg2> easy peazy
[02:24] <maddawg2> can even give it a nice url rewrite if needed
[02:32] <ghostcartpi> Hey folks. Does anyone have experience with ubuntu on raspberry pi?
[02:33] <ghostcartpi> I'm attempting to install mudlet and having poor luck.
[02:39] <tomreyn> ghostcartpi: how does it fail?
[02:41] <tomreyn> i'm not sure which architecture raspi is. if it's armhf this would be why the package is not available. it is available for arm64, though.
[02:41] <ghostcartpi> hmm
[02:42] <ghostcartpi> the odd thing is that it's available on the raspbian repo
[02:42] <ghostcartpi> sudo apt-get install mudlet
[02:42] <ghostcartpi> works out of the bo
[02:42] <ghostcartpi> box
[02:42] <tomreyn> then what doesn't work?
[02:42] <ghostcartpi> here I
[02:43] <ghostcartpi> I'll get the exact message
[02:46] <ghostcartpi> Package mudlet is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[02:46] <ghostcartpi> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[02:46] <ghostcartpi> is only available from another source
[02:46] <ghostcartpi> E: Package 'mudlet' has no installation candidate
[02:46] <ghostcartpi> tomreyn, I'm attempting to install on ubuntu-mate, not raspbian
[02:47] <tomreyn> what does "uname -mp" return
[02:47] <CodeHunterEx> Would it be possible to create an image of an installed lubuntu distro and use that in a virtual machine?
[02:48] <ghostcartpi> arm71 armv71
[02:49] <ghostcartpi> er
[02:49] <ghostcartpi> armv71 armv1l
[02:49] <ghostcartpi> 7l
[02:49] <ghostcartpi> bleh
[02:49] <Ben64> we get it
[02:49] <Ben64> package isn't available on that architecture
[02:50] <ghostcartpi> that's weird
[02:50] <ghostcartpi> can I make it myself?
[02:50] <Ben64> you can try
[02:50] <tomreyn> ghostcartpi: i don't know whether those packages are stored. packages.ubuntu.com only seems to know about armhf and am64.
[02:50] <tomreyn> i mean *where* not *whether*.
[02:51] <ghostcartpi> Hmm. Would be a deal breaker if I couldn't get mudlet on this OS, which is a shame.
[02:52] <ghostcartpi> it needs QT4.4+
[02:53] <CodeHunterEx> The question I asked, is it a sane or insane question?
[02:58] <willsketchupwork> how do i check if i have a virus?
[02:59] <ghostcartpi> suppose I'll go back to raspbian for now
[02:59] <ghostcartpi> thanks for the input
[03:00] <ghostcartpi> ubuntu just looks so much better than it
[03:00]  * ghostcartpi sighs
[03:01] <willsketchupwork> my keyboard and mouse stopped working. luckily i have a touchscreen
[03:04] <fa0> Anyone by chance using Ubuntu in qemu? I've noticed that the login display, not sure if this is LightDM, but the resolution of it is huge, when using qemu, the login display fills up my entire screen, when I have grub set at 1440x900 and Unity set for the same resolution...
[03:04] <fa0> I can't seem to get the login display to appear at the same size...
[03:05] <willsketchupwork> has anyone here had a linux virus?
[03:05] <ghostcartpi> The idea is to have a nice cheap netbook
[03:05] <ghostcartpi> and I was hoping to use ubuntu
[03:06] <Bray90820_> What would be the best way to setup remote login on my ubuntu home server
[03:07] <gmcastil> can someone running ubuntu 16.04 or thereabouts pastebin the script that is /usr/bin/rgrep please?
[03:07] <skweek> I have a lot of trouble with network manager crashing ....
[03:07] <skweek> I was wondering if anyone could help me out in where to look at it
[03:08] <skweek> and what I can do to investigate its problems
[03:08] <gmcastil> i removed the stock grep version and have replaced with a newer version built from source which doesnt provide rgrep - anyone put it in a pastebin for me?
[03:09] <willsketchupwork> my computer mysteriously just shut off and when i turned it on again it was screwed up.
[03:09] <Ben64> gmcastil: rgrep is grep
[03:09] <gmcastil> Ben64: i know, but i'd like the script so that i can replace it verbatim
[03:10] <CodeHunterEx> I only have 2 lines in my rgrep file.
[03:10] <Ben64> probably shouldn't have deleted it
[03:10] <gmcastil> Ben64: not sure what i'm going to be installing will require its presence
[03:10] <gmcastil> CodeHunterEx: what are those lines plz?
[03:10] <CodeHunterEx> #!/bin/sh
[03:10] <CodeHunterEx> exec grep -r "$@"
[03:10] <gmcastil> sorry for the 'plz' i've been playing a lot of video games lately
[03:10] <gmcastil> ok thats what i thought it had been thanks
[03:11] <CodeHunterEx> I am runnin Lubuntu 16.04 64bit
[03:11] <CodeHunterEx> You're welcome
[03:11] <willsketchupwork> nobody has a command to check the keyboard and mouse? something? anything!?
[03:12] <CodeHunterEx> USB keyboard/mouse?
[03:13] <gmcastil> Ben64: believe it or not, i had a perfectly valid reason to do so
[03:13] <Ben64> not if you need the file now you don't
[03:14] <gmcastil> i didnt realize grep didnt provide rgrep
[03:15] <CodeHunterEx> willsketchupwork, Silly question, but have ya tried to disconnect/reconnect them? (if they are USB)
[03:15] <th0r> willsketchupwork: xev should show if the keypresses are being detected
[03:16] <gmcastil> what is the name of the ubuntu utility that switches default programs like awk / mawk / yacc / etc. ?
[03:19] <willsketchupwork> it is a laptop. also my browser is opening new new windows when i just want tabs. all this strange activity makes me suspect something malicious.
[03:19] <Ben64> willsketchupwork: time to format and reinstall then
[03:21] <willsketchupwork> that is the thing i can't remember my bios password. maybe a new motherboard.
[03:21] <gmcastil> willsketchupwork: try creating a new user first and seeing if the same problem exists on that one
[03:21] <gmcastil> no idea where your browser stores its junk, but you might try getting rid of all that too
[03:21] <willsketchupwork> like a superuser?
[03:24] <skweek> in ubuntu 15.04 after waking my laptop the wireless doesn't connect and the network manager appears blank in the gnome systems menu, when I kill networkmanager, the dhclient, and the dnsmasq and then restart network manager it restarts without any problems
[03:25] <Ben64> skweek: 15.04 lost support nearly a year ago, it's not safe to use
[03:25] <gmcastil> whats the utility to swap dash for bash, gawk for awk, etc?
[03:26] <willsketchupwork> i think i am going to have to reset my mobo somehow and reinstall. do you think it would be safd to save my wine directory?
[03:26] <skweek> Ben64: right, sorry I meant 16.04
[03:27] <CodeHunterEx> BBl gonna reboot to try an experiment.
[03:27] <may68> Do Ubuntu users have girlfriends?
[03:29] <willsketchupwork> i mean i dont think i have any other options
[03:29] <PickledEggs> may68: I do, but she's pretty sick of me talking about my preferred Linux distros
[03:29] <designbybeck> may68: yep, and not only is she sitting right here, I'm chatting on her Ubuntu Linux laptop!
[03:29] <gmcastil> update-alternatives
[03:29] <gmcastil> thanks folks
[03:30] <PickledEggs> may68: she does _not_ have an opinion about systemd
[03:30] <bazhang> !ot | may68
[03:30] <bazhang> lets get back to ubuntu support please
[03:33] <willsketchupwork> i guess i could do one more update and upgrade reboot and see what happens.
[03:35] <Byan> Can someone do me a favor? Whats it say for distrib_codename under 16.10 16.04 in /etc/lsb-release?
[03:35] <willsketchupwork> this really really sucks.
[03:35] <skypce> hello
[03:36] <skypce> how can i uncompress a tar.xz file and create a dir for it?
[03:39] <Byan> you sure Ben64
[03:39] <Byan> still didnt work
[03:39] <Byan> can you just show me your line?
[03:39] <Ben64> what are you doing
[03:39] <Byan> im on linux mint trying to get intel-graphics-update-tool to run
[03:39] <Byan> but it says distro not supported
[03:39] <Ben64> then go to the mint channel, this is for ubuntu
[03:39] <Byan> trying to put what it wantsin lsb-release
[03:39] <Byan> uhh all I am asking for is that line in someone lsb-release file
[03:39] <Byan> not looking for any answers
[03:39] <Byan> to a question
[03:39] <Ben64> uh, you're on mint, stop trying to get support here
[03:39] <Byan> I am not asking for support
[03:39] <Ben64> you literally are
[03:39] <Byan> I am asking for what the ubuntu file says
[03:39] <gmcastil> Byan: what were you looking for?
[03:39] <Byan> which is a ubuntu question
[03:39] <Ben64> and i told you, now go away
[03:39] <Byan> what the DISTRIB_CODENAME says in lsb-release on ubuntu gmcastil
[03:39] <Byan> like it would literally take one of you 5 seconds to tell me
[03:39] <Ben64> I DID
[03:40] <Byan> you copy and pasted your line?
[03:40] <Ben64> now stop doing stupid crap and go get support in the proper place which you obviously need
[03:40] <Byan> man I am going to be super pissed at you if you didnt actually copy your line
[03:40] <Byan> I am following the support instructions for mint but they are outdated
[03:40] <bazhang> lets stay polite here please
[03:41] <bazhang> !mint | Byan
[03:41] <gmcastil> Byan xenial
[03:41] <bazhang> stop asking for mint support here Byan
[03:41] <gmcastil> i dont really see how he's asking for mint support
[03:41] <Byan> its DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial gmcastil ?
[03:41] <gmcastil> he's asking what something in ubuntu happens to be because he's on mint
[03:42] <Byan> thanks gmcastil
[03:42] <bazhang> nonetheless mint support is where he needs to be
[03:42] <gmcastil> bazhang: not if he's asking about things specific to Ubuntu
[03:42] <Byan> I didnt ask a single mint question
[03:42] <gmcastil> I was trying to get help for Ubuntu, even though i'm not using it
[03:42] <gmcastil> not that anyone cared - too busy trolling people for asking questions about Ubuntu
[03:43] <Ben64> gmcastil: then you shouldn't be asking your questions here either
[03:43] <gmcastil> Ben64: where would you suggest i ask people about ubuntu's update-alternatives then?
[03:43] <Ben64> if you're not using ubuntu why ask here
[03:43] <syroth> sorry folks, get as butt hurt as you want but asking ubuntu questions in ubuntu channel is legit. I'm running a windows 7 box to use IRC right now, does that mean I dont belong here?
[03:44] <syroth> the guy clearly wanted to know what ubuntu's output for that was, he stated such
[03:44] <Ben64> syroth: you didn't ask a windows7 question
[03:44] <gmcastil> neither did i ask a Fedora question nor did Byan ask a Mint question
[03:44] <Ben64> he did though
[03:44] <syroth> true, but he was specifically asking for a line form an ubuntu OS he stated he was using mint
[03:45] <gmcastil> and as far as I can tell, you arent really able to answer questions anyway, so i'm not sure why i'm listening to you
[03:47] <Byan> oh well I give up
[03:49] <Byan> hah figured it out
[03:53] <willsketchupwork> when was the last time someone with a virus asked for help?
[03:55] <syroth> no clue bud, not so common on the *nix side of computing
[04:12] <avoider> Anyone around?
[04:12] <avoider> Having troubles being able to boot anthing from usb after install ubuntu
[04:13] <Ben64> you mean windows
[04:13] <avoider> yeah
[04:13] <avoider> well anything tbh
[04:13] <avoider> I mainly want windows but i cant boot anything
[04:13] <Ben64> well you still need to get support for booting windows in ##windows
[04:13] <avoider> Lets talk about ubuntu okay?
[04:14] <avoider> It wont even allow me to boot that as i tried.
[04:14] <Ben64> then you're doing it wrong
[04:14] <avoider> So your telling me the DD command is wrong?
[04:14] <Ben64> i don't know what you did, but if it isn't working, you did something incorrectly
[04:14] <avoider> The dd command is very simple and stright foward
[04:15] <tekeli-li> avoider, The dd command is not part of the Ubuntu installer.
[04:15] <avoider> It writes the image to usb tho
[04:15] <Ben64> avoider: what exactly did you do
[04:15] <avoider> I used several diff tools
[04:15] <Ben64> what did you do to boot ubuntu
[04:16] <avoider> no matter what i do it will always give me  Invaild boot device or Invaild boot partation
[04:16] <Ben64> please note - getting ubuntu usb to boot won't help you with windows
[04:16] <Ben64> so if you're just here wasting time, stop now
[04:16] <tekeli-li> Did you overwrite your boot device?
[04:16] <avoider> Ben64, please show some respect!
[04:16] <Ben64> i am
[04:17] <tekeli-li> avoider, Did you overwrite your boot device using the dd command?
[04:17] <avoider> Now, what my plans wwhere to try to re install ubuntu to live version and erase all the partations
[04:17] <avoider> but i cant even do that.
[04:17] <Ben64> avoider: what would that accomplish
[04:17] <avoider> to get rid of grub?
[04:17] <Ben64> avoider: and what would that accomplish
[04:17] <avoider> and w.e else it did to my hdd
[04:17]  * tekeli-li out
[04:18] <Sellerie> hi what's up?
[04:18] <may68> Not much
[04:18] <may68> I'm waiting for lunch
[04:18] <Sellerie> well.. can any1 help me with thunderbird config?
[04:19] <avoider> That is whats effecting me installing or booting anything
[04:19] <bazhang> may68, stop with the chit chat here
[04:19] <cfhowlett> !ask | Sellerie
[04:19] <Ben64> avoider: it isn't
[04:19] <avoider> before i put linux on here
[04:19] <avoider> i never had a issue
[04:19] <avoider> booting anything
[04:19] <avoider> so it is!
[04:19] <Ben64> avoider: as you were told many many many many many times already, booting a usb has nothing to do with anything on your hard drive
[04:19] <avoider> Then why cant i boot any os?
[04:20] <Ben64> because you're doing something incorrectly
[04:20] <avoider> So the tools in "software" and the "dd" command are trash then? you saying
[04:20] <avoider> ?
[04:20] <Sellerie> !patience
[04:20] <Ben64> again, i don't know what you did
[04:20] <Sellerie> hahah
[04:20] <morf> crazy person detected
[04:20] <avoider> multiwriter and unetbottin trash apps?
[04:21] <avoider> There is not much wrong to do when writing a bootable image to a usb mate.
[04:21] <Ben64> i'm just telling you the facts, grub and anything else on a hard drive will have zero effect on booting a usb
[04:21] <avoider> Stop acting like its a big thing
[04:21] <avoider> lol
[04:21] <avoider> So tell me what app should i use?
[04:21] <cfhowlett> suggest you dial back the attitude there, amigo
[04:21] <avoider> lol
[04:21] <Sellerie> okay.. i'm having a problem with tb... i can't find a way to set up a correctly working "reply with template" filter.. can any1 help me?
[04:21] <Ben64> when the computer boots, it boots from a device, either usb, cd, dvd, network, hard drive, etc
[04:21] <Ben64> one does not affect the other in any way
[04:21] <cfhowlett> Sellerie, create the template and save it to templates.
[04:22] <avoider> Ben64: here me out for a second.
[04:22] <Sellerie> wait, how do you write with those green colors? sorry for being such a newb
[04:22] <avoider> Ben64: before i put linuc on here i can reinstall several diffrent os no issue never got a problem in my life
[04:22] <Ben64> no, you're so sure you know the problem, and you don't. it's blinding you to the actual problem
[04:22] <avoider> Until i put ubuntu on here.
[04:22] <avoider> None of you guys could solve it for two days now?
[04:22] <cfhowlett> Sellerie, depends entirely on your chat client settings.  if you are in hexchat, it's a simple setting
[04:23] <Sellerie> ya it's hexchat
[04:23] <avoider> Only smart person who made logic was eric^^
[04:23] <Ben64> !xy | avoider
[04:23] <cfhowlett> Sellerie, wait 1
[04:23] <avoider> My problem is how to get rid of this trash ubuntu?
[04:23] <avoider> lol
[04:23] <avoider> That is X
[04:23] <Ben64> avoider: yes, ask in ##windows
[04:24] <avoider> I had Fed boxes and Debian boxes never had this issue.
[04:24] <cfhowlett> Sellerie, hexchat > settings > interface > appearance > text box > colored nick names
[04:24] <avoider> Only with this crap
[04:24] <Sellerie> done
[04:24] <avoider> I have a machine with Fedora right next to me that if i turn if off and put my usb with windows on it... it will go boot the usb
[04:24] <cfhowlett> Sellerie, and now you should see colored nicks
[04:24] <avoider> Ubuntu is not allowing me to do this.
[04:25] <Ben64> avoider: then you're not booting it properly in your computer, still not ubuntu
[04:25] <avoider> ?
[04:25] <avoider> You press f12 and choose usb ?
[04:25] <Sellerie> yeah now i see colored nicks, but i'm not writing green like you lol
[04:25] <avoider> What is the trick im missing?
[04:25] <avoider> I never messed with my bios
[04:25] <avoider> so what changed ?
[04:25] <Ben64> avoider: not an ubuntu issue
[04:25] <avoider> none of you can explain it
[04:25] <avoider> lol
[04:26] <cfhowlett> Sellerie, that would be your settings > interface > colors
[04:26] <cfhowlett> if color stripping = on = no colors
[04:26] <avoider> Ben64, unless you have a soultion to the problem
[04:26] <Ben64> yes, ASK IN THE RIGHT CHANNEL
[04:26] <Ben64> jesus christ
[04:26] <avoider> I dont think you know, since you say the same thing.
[04:26] <Sellerie> hmm
[04:27] <avoider> Stop talking about "ubuntu" and how its not the issue.
[04:27] <avoider> Why dont we start talking about what the issue is?
[04:27] <Ben64> ok in the right channel though
[04:27] <avoider> Since you so certin its not ubuntu or grub
[04:27] <avoider> Grub screws everything up
[04:27] <avoider> and takes over shit
[04:27] <Ben64> wrong
[04:28] <avoider> thats why they dont sell ubuntu pre loaded in major stores because the support is garbo and people just say "oh its not our problem"
[04:29] <Ben64> this is amazing, you're so dense you should have collapsed into a black hole a long time ago
[04:29] <avoider> Why calling names to me?
[04:29] <Ben64> ask in the right channel and maybe you can get help
[04:29]  * cfhowlett was more grateful for the hexchat /ignore function ...
[04:29] <Sellerie> well whatever man... couldn't do it... coming back to the main issue, i already have some templates, and the "reply with template" option is visible, but it doesn't work
[04:29] <avoider> Why dont you join efnet so i can make ur host collapse into a black hole?
[04:29] <avoider> with ur sweet mouth
[04:29] <cfhowlett> Sellerie, let me replicate ... wait 1
[04:30] <Ben64> lol
[04:31] <cfhowlett> Sellerie, did you save your template to /Templates?
[04:31] <Sellerie> yes
[04:31] <Sellerie> at least i can see the templates in the "templates" folder
[04:32] <Sellerie> i don't know if they are in some folder in my hard drive though
[04:33] <cfhowlett> Sellerie, wait.  /Templates is a thunderbird folder NOT the ubuntu /Templates
[04:34] <cfhowlett> best you ask #mozilla
[04:34] <cfhowlett> #thunderbird Sellerie

[05:53] <Biscuit-> can anyone tell me how to upgrade to 16.04 from 14.04?
[05:54] <Biscuit-> via the terminal
[05:59] <SwedeMike> Biscuit-: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/installing-upgrading.html
[06:01] <lotuspsychje> !upgrade | Biscuit-
[06:01] <Bashing-om> Biscuit-: When fully updadted on 14.04, no proprietary drivers, PPAs reverted; then terminal commad ' sudo do-release-upgrade ' .
[06:03] <juanonymous> question: how do i get rid of this exploit? https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/37292/
[06:05] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: update your system to latest
[06:05] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: if you doubt your system got compromised, do a clean install
[06:06] <morf> if you got hacked the best approach is imho simply backup data only and reinstall
[06:06] <Biscuit-> Thank you so much SwedeMike lotuspsychje and Bashing-om
[06:07] <juanonymous> no
[06:07] <juanonymous> i tested that out on the system and it is vulnerable
[06:08] <Bashing-om> Biscuit-: ;) help is what we do .
[06:08] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: tell us uname -a on your system plz?
[06:09] <juanonymous> Linux ubuntu 3.13.0-32-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 03:51:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[06:10] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: and lsb_release -a?
[06:12] <Bashing-om> !info linux-image-generic trusty
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: you need to update system to latest mate
[06:13] <juanonymous> yep i should
[06:13] <juanonymous> No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID:	Ubuntu Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS Release:	14.04 Codename:	trusty
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: what happens on sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ?
[06:15] <juanonymous> starting it now
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: server or desktop?
[06:26] <juanonymous> server
[06:26] <juanonymous> wait brb i am ironing my pants
[06:26] <juanonymous> or what the term for that
[06:26] <juanonymous> yep update and upgrade done
[06:27] <juanonymous> and successful
[06:27] <sleepster> is there a way to download an older version of a package? I am interested in running chromium version 53
[06:27] <sleepster> chromium 54 seems to be the latest
[06:34] <juanonymous> after update and upgdare what next btw?
[06:35] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: check uname -a again
[06:35] <juanonymous> this exploit does not work on desktop version tho, only servers
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: and reboot once in a while
[06:36] <juanonymous> tried it on desktop but it failed
[06:36] <juanonymous> ok
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> !latest | sleepster
[06:36] <lotuspsychje> sleepster: not wise to keep running older packages, use your systems updates mate

[06:42] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: something in your system might hold back kernels or something
[06:43] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: did you try autoremove older kernels & reboot?
[06:43] <juanonymous> not yet
[06:43] <juanonymous> checking on some articles about this too
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: you got arm device? or custom kernel build or something? ppa's added?
[06:45] <juanonymous> negative lotuspsychje
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: didnt reboot for a very long time?
[06:45] <Seven_Six_Two> is there a package that would, when run on a vps, allow people to connect to a single port on the vps that is forwarded, tunneled, proxied, etc. to another server, in effect hiding the server's ip?
[06:46] <lotuspsychje> Seven_Six_Two: perhaps the ##networking guys know that one
[06:46] <Seven_Six_Two> lotuspsychje, thanks. I was thinking about like apache does for reverse proxy, but for a game. I'll check there.
[06:47] <juanonymous> lotuspsychje, i just installed this one 5 days ago
[06:49] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: from official ubuntu downloads?
[06:50] <juanonymous> yes
[06:52] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: can you tell us wich image of server you chosen exactly?
[06:57] <juanonymous> ok, wait
[07:02] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: makes no sense you downloaded and installed ubuntu server latest iso from 5 days ago and thats already been exploited
[07:02] <juanonymous> no i check that exploit myself
[07:02] <juanonymous> check if its vulnerable
[07:02] <juanonymous> and it is
[07:06] <lotuspsychje> juanonymous: wich version fo 14.04 server did you choose?
[07:09] <Ben64> "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will fix that right up
[07:33] <ablest> hi

[07:41] <Bashing-om> LOL^^ , but I gotta go . see yall !
[07:42] <xissburg> hmm.. tcptrack is showing a lot of IPs connecting to my VPS repeatedly. That's causing apache2 to use 100% CPU. Is this a DDoS attack?

[08:19] <no_gravity> Hello! When /boot/ is full of old kernels, should I get rid of them with "apt-get remove" or with "apt-get purge"?
[08:21] <satinder> Hi, i am using ubuntu 16.04 and on my system php7 is not working in the browser
[08:21] <Ben64> no_gravity: you can use "sudo apt-get autoremove"
[08:22] <no_gravity> Ben64: That will remove all unused kernels?
[08:22] <Ben64> no_gravity: most of them, it keeps a couple
[08:23] <no_gravity> Uh oh, "apt-get purge linux-image-4.4.0-21-generic" seems to fiddle with the boot menu... let's see if the machine still boots...
[08:23] <satinder> Hi, i am using ubuntu 16.04 and on my system php7 is not working in the browser
[08:24] <no_gravity> satinder: php7 is not intended to run in the browser.
[08:24] <satinder> which version i suppose to use with ubuntu 16.04
[08:25] <no_gravity> Ben64: That seems to only remove one kernel
[08:25] <Ben64> satinder: depends what you're trying to do
[08:25] <dikiaap> how to add linespace in terminal? Like in urxvt
[08:25] <no_gravity> satinder: I would use the php version that is in the repos.
[08:25] <Ben64> no_gravity: i think it leaves two or three plus maybe the currently running one
[08:26] <Ben64> depends what you have installed i suppose
[08:26] <no_gravity> Ben64: It talks about "Will not try to make an initrd." ... oh oh.. I hope the machine will survive this...
[08:27] <no_gravity> exited with an error code...
[08:27] <no_gravity> Phew, it still boots.
[08:31] <no_gravity> Ha, the "apt-get purge" fails because it tries to build a new initrd but there is not enough space left on /boot/
[08:32] <no_gravity> What now?
[08:34] <Ben64> move a couple of the initrd files somewhere off /boot and try again?
[08:36] <hhee> guys, is there a difference between 12, 14, 16 ubuntu in case needed system resources?
[08:39] <Ben64> hhee: "in case needed system resources" ???
[08:40] <no_gravity> Ben64: Yeah, I have enough space now after some juggling around.
[08:40] <hhee> Ben64, system requirements, like memory and so on
[08:40] <no_gravity> hhee: If you are low on resources, you might try Debian with openbox.
[08:41] <no_gravity> hhee: That's what I use on slim machines.
[08:41] <hhee> Ben64, i need quick linux system for virtual machine
[08:41] <hhee> no_gravity, got it
[08:41] <Ben64> hhee: they're all fairly similar, depends what you want to do though
[08:41] <no_gravity> hhee: It's nicely suited for VMs because it has almost zero gui. But it might be be *too* slim depending on what you intend to do.
[08:42] <no_gravity> hhee: I use debian+openbox+chrome if I want a machine to simply use a browsers.
[08:42] <hhee> Ben64, no_gravity mostly i need browser, file manager, one java app, and some terminal programs
[08:42] <ra21vi> anyone aware of any variant of ubuntu, or debian or even fedora that works with dell latest system (7559), can suspend, no freeze, has support for Kebylake and two GFX (nvidia+intel-onboard)
[08:42] <hhee> no_gravity, ok, thx
[08:42] <ra21vi> no_gravity: ^
[08:43] <no_gravity> ra21vi: idk
[08:43] <Ben64> ra21vi: your question would be better suited for ##linux
[08:43] <ra21vi> Ben64: ok let me try there :) .. thanks
[08:43] <ra21vi> why there is ## two has for ##linux

[11:22] <lplatypus> Hi, how do I start pulseaudio as a system-wide daemon in Ubuntu 16.04?  It seems to have changed from 14.04 where I had this working following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX#Pulseaudio
[11:39] <discovered> Anyone using kde wallet manager?
[11:41] <OerHeks> discovered, you might want to ask your real question.
[11:45] <discovered> I am trying to use kdewallet manager to store all password(First time using a password manger though). Does it automatically save the password to the wallet or i need to save automatically. The password is always empty even if i am login to any website
[11:53] <lplatypus> to answer my own question about running pulseaudio as a system daemon following upgrade to 16.04: I got it working by (1) restoring the upstart config for this daemon that was removed in the upgrade (cd /etc/init && cp pulseaudio.conf.dpkg-bak pulseaudio.conf), and (2) changing boot to use upstart rather than systemd
[11:55] <lplatypus> this is important for multiseat setup (I use it so my kids can log into the computer at the same time with different screens/keyboards)
[12:03] <BloqueNegro> hi all together. i'm using ubuntu gnome 16.10 and i am unable to use my JBL extreme bluetooth speaker
[12:03] <BloqueNegro> i was able to connect to it, however, all i get is static noises
[12:03] <BloqueNegro> so no sound output
[12:05] <BluesKaj> howdy all
[12:07] <BloqueNegro> can somebody help me on that?
[12:13] <tomreyn> BloqueNegro: there are three approaches you can take: (1) try whether it works on ubunt 16.04 lts, and if it does, install that instead. (2) filing a bug report as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems and hope this will lead to someone triaging it and adding information or developing a patch which will fix it (can take a while), (3) try debugging and fixing or working around it yourself with the help of https://help.ubuntu.com/commu
[12:13] <tomreyn> nity/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure - reading up on https://www.alsa-project.org/ and maybe with some help of the folks in #alsa
[12:14] <tomreyn> (4) use a less complex and less proprietary technique for audio output.
[12:18] <BloqueNegro> tomreyn, so i should probably go back to 1604?
[12:19] <OerHeks> make sure you enabled A2DP? http://askubuntu.com/questions/775523/after-updating-to-16-04-bluetooth-audio-a2dp-mode-stopped-working
[12:21] <tomreyn> unclezipper: post output of apt-get update as well as of this: cat /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*} | grep '^deb ' | sort | uniq
[12:23] <tomreyn> unclezipper: ...and repeat your question when you do, since it's been a while.

[12:38] <e8newallm> Hi, I'm on lubuntu, and the network manager has my wired connection is listed as not managed, even though I changed NetworkManager.conf to managed=true and removed everything from the interfaces file. What else can I do?
[12:40] <bekks> e8newallm: Did you remove literally everything?If so, it wont work :)
[12:41] <e8newallm> Yeah I think so
[12:41] <e8newallm> Do I need to delete the interfaces file entirely?
[12:41] <bekks> e8newallm: No. you need several ebtries in there.
[12:41] <bekks> *entries
[12:41] <e8newallm> "auto lo\r\n iface lo inet loopback"
[12:41] <e8newallm> That's all that's in it
[12:42] <bekks> So you didnt remove everything ;)
[12:42] <e8newallm> Ok removed everything, reset network manager, still no :P
[12:42] <e8newallm> interfaces is a blank file
[12:43] <bekks> m(
[12:43] <bekks> You NEED those two lines.
[12:43] <bekks> If you removed them NM will not work.
[12:43] <bekks> Thats what I said above, too.
[12:44] <e8newallm> Ok fair enough
[12:44] <e8newallm> Is there anything else I would need to change?
[12:44] <e8newallm> I can find literally nothing on this that doesn't say to change those two things :P
[12:45] <e8newallm> I've had ethernet working before, but network manager said I was disconnected from the internet when that was the case
[12:46] <bekks> And what did you change since then, so NM started to behave differently?
[12:46] <e8newallm> It wasn't working then
[12:46] <e8newallm> It still said the same thing
[12:46] <e8newallm> But I was still connected through ethernet, but it said ethernet wasn't managed and that I was disconnected still
[12:47] <bekks> So did it ever work?
[12:48] <e8newallm> Well network manager said I was disconnected but I was still able to use websites
[12:48] <e8newallm> I think I had configured the ethernet through interfaces then though
[12:49] <e8newallm> To check if ethernet would work at all
[12:49] <bekks> Did it ever work - yes or no? :P
[12:49] <e8newallm> It has always said ethernet not managed since I first installed Lubuntu
[12:49] <e8newallm> But ethernet has worked when manually configured using the interfaces file
[12:49] <bekks> And why are you concerned about it now?
[12:50] <e8newallm> Because I only recently installed Lubuntu :P
[12:50] <e8newallm> It was fine when it was still Windows, but when I put Lubuntu on, I had this problem right away
[12:52] <bekks> Windows uses totally different mechanism and thus is totally out of interest at this point.
[12:52] <e8newallm> Well yeah
[12:58] <saramadrid> hello!
[12:59] <saramadrid> may i ask something here or do i have to look for someone specific?
[12:59] <bekks> saramadrid: Depends on wether you have a specific ubuntu support issue or not.
[13:00] <saramadrid> I have something i can't figure out how to configure properly on ubuntu 16.04 but it is network related...
[13:00] <bekks> saramadrid: So just ask your question then-
[13:00] <saramadrid> ok,
[13:00] <saramadrid> i have 2 network interfaces
[13:01] <saramadrid> for reasons not worth mentioning here, both interfaces are connected to different networks, but both networks have the same ip range
[13:01] <saramadrid> 192.168.0.x
[13:01] <saramadrid> so, i need interface 1 to be the default
[13:02] <bekks> saramadrid: So configure your default route using interface 1.
[13:02] <saramadrid> but, no matter what i try with network manager, it insists on having network 2 as default
[13:02] <bekks> Configure your network manually, not using NM.
[13:03] <saramadrid> i thought about that, but i wanted to figure out how to do it without doing surgery
[13:03] <nlynx> guys, hi. how can i find directory in midnight commander? i tried command->find file>unchecked "ignore directory", wrote directory name, but nothing was found
[13:04] <saramadrid> doing it manually seems like not solving the problem, more like avoiding it
[13:06] <saramadrid> i could also swap the ethernet cables, but i'd like to know how to solve this... this is my last time trying to move to linux for my desktop and i really want to make things work without modifying my installation too much
[13:06] <saramadrid> nlynx, does it have to be done with midnight commander?
[13:10] <stefg> saramadrid: since both networks seem to be 192.168.0.0/24 how should a poor stupid tcp packet know which way to turn... i'd say that everything hinges on the default gateway
[13:11] <stefg> saramadrid: if you have a chance i'd try to fix this network setup.... you'll run into trouble sooner or later
[13:11] <saramadrid> stefg, i know, but what i want is to use lan1 for everything, and lan2 just for access one server on that lan
[13:11] <saramadrid> in fact, its working perfectly now, its just that i cant swap the default interface
[13:11] <stefg> All fine, but why cant you just use 192.168.1.0/24 for one of the two nets?
[13:11] <saramadrid> for some reason, there is no way i can see to select lan1 as default
[13:12] <saramadrid> both networks are independent, but they are a replica that allows redundancy for some servers
[13:12] <saramadrid> i cant really explain everything, but it's the way it is
[13:12] <saramadrid> i can't change it
[13:14] <stefg> i see.. i think network manager isn't designed to handle such a ... err, special... setup. how about only using your desired default interface from network manager and bringing up the other with a little script. Would be a way to force things the way you want them
[13:15] <bekks> Or configuring them without using NM at all.
[13:15] <bekks> Both of them.
[13:16] <bekks> saramadrid: Kill whoever setup that crap. Implement trunking on your switches and uses redundant cabling. Done.
[13:16] <stefg> bekks: ^^^This!^^^
[13:25] <stefg> saramadrid: Thinking over it it might be timing related... whoever claims first 192.168.0.0 gets it. It might be the wrong net, that's always faster. An idea might be to look into udev rules. But i doubt you can solve such a faulty sitaution "without" surgery". I even doubt, windows wouldn't complain (no idea...)
[13:34] <saramadrid> stefg, sorry for being away... actually in windows is pretty easy, it respects the metric of the interfaces
[13:38] <saramadrid> bekks, i can't actually kill him, actually he's my boyfriend :) and i don't really know why but it is well designed and implemented. anyway that's out of the scope of my question, i just thought that since it was something so trivial in windows, i thought it would as easier on network manager, but it isnt
[13:41] <bekks> saramadrid: Him being your boyfriend means you can get much closer to him :>
[13:42] <saramadrid> indeed, but he gives me much worst motives to kill him and i've not done it yet :) sounds silly to do it because of this :P
[13:45] <stefg> saramadrid: so the least thing you can expect then is that he fixes his own mess and do the (quite manageable) surgery by writing a proper /etc/network/interfaces for you ;-)
[13:47] <saramadrid> xD actually someone pointed me to the fix right now... it seems the gui of network manager can't set metrics at the moment, but the nmcli utility can
[13:47] <saramadrid> i'm going to try it now... see if it works
[13:47] <ioria> saramadrid, there is also a package dedicated, iirc
[13:48] <ioria> !info ifmetric
[13:48] <saramadrid> ioria, but nmcli should be the tool to use isnt it?
[13:48] <ioria> saramadrid, guess so
[13:48] <saramadrid> thanks anyway!! good to know my options
[13:49] <el_bamba> good luck... and metrics
[13:49] <ioria> saramadrid   http://blog.felipe.lessa.nom.br/?p=129
[13:53] <saramadrid> thanks ioria !!
[13:53] <ioria> saramadrid   no prob
[13:55] <PCdude> hi all :)
[14:07] <saramadrid> i guess i need to reset... brb
[14:19] <saramadrid> eureka! it works :)
[14:20] <saramadrid> nmcli actually worked without a problem... the gui seems to do something funny because using the cli i was able to remove everything and then add the interfaces in the right order.
[14:20] <saramadrid> thanks to everyone helping me
[14:21] <MonkeyDust> saramadrid  my pleasure
[14:23] <SAKUJ0> sorry i am new to ubuntu and used to more minimal distros. what would be the minimal way of installing a gnome shell?
[14:24] <MonkeyDust> !mini
[14:25] <OerHeks> SAKUJ0, with --no-install-recommends perhaps? why more minimal?
[14:25] <OerHeks> you might save 1 gb diskspace
[14:25] <SAKUJ0> because i dont need firefox or a cd burning utiliy etc
[14:29] <MonkeyDust> SAKUJ0  then the !mini installation is what you want, i guess
[14:29] <SAKUJ0> !mini
[14:29] <SAKUJ0> i already have a minimal system right now
[14:29] <SAKUJ0> I am trying to find out in what ways I can add a minimal gnome shell environment
[14:29] <OerHeks> sudo apt install gnome-desktop --no-install-recommends
[14:30] <OerHeks> might give you firefox anyway ..
[14:30] <SAKUJ0> i don't think it would
[14:30] <SAKUJ0> (as it is under "Recommends: ")
[14:31] <SAKUJ0> it still depends on packages such as 'brasero' etc. though
[14:31] <OerHeks> There is only one way to find out.
[14:32] <SAKUJ0> so i am wondering what packages out of ubuntu-gnome-desktop I would need. One of those is 'gnome-shell'
[14:32] <darkdreamingdan> Hey guys, i just booted ubuntu from live usb and it seems great.  I was just wondering what happens to my windows boot manager before i do a full install?
[14:33] <darkdreamingdan> i'm going to install on a seperate disk to windows
[14:34] <OerHeks> darkdreamingdan,  if you install grub2 bootloader, it will chainload the windows stuff, if you choose windows
[14:34] <OerHeks> !dualboot
[14:35] <darkdreamingdan> thanks - without trying to sound like a fool, what does that actually mean? That it takes over windows' default bootloader?
[14:37] <OerHeks> no, grub will load first.
[14:39] <darkdreamingdan> And if i stop using ubuntu and remove the partition, what's left of my bootloader compared to before?
[14:39] <OerHeks> If you remove ubuntu, use your windows iso to repair the mbr.
[14:39] <OerHeks> nothing much will be changed, just the pointer to the bootloader.
[14:43] <codepoetn> hello ubuntu, I've a problem with rhythmbox, even when i close the rhythmbox music player window it keeps on playiing the music in background. how to stop it? i want the music to stop when i close the rhythmbox window (just like when we close vlc media player video playing stops.), like that!
[14:44] <MonkeyDust> codepoetn  in the preferences, look foor 'minimize to tray when closing', or similar
[14:46] <OerHeks> http://askubuntu.com/questions/17134/rhythmbox-still-plays-songs-after-exit
[14:47] <codepoetn> in the preferences i get four options : general, playback music and podcast, but the opton is not available there for minimizing totray while closing. I'm on ubuntu 16.04
[14:47] <OerHeks> I see no option either
[14:47] <SAKUJ0> OerHeks, `apt install gnome-shell` seems to be exactly what i want. hopefully it's not missing packages to start a minimal gnome-shell
[14:48] <SAKUJ0> (i happen to want all of its recommended but none of its suggested packages)
[14:53] <goatse`cx> run the following command to unlock a free video game built into Gentoo (exact game may vary by release number)
[14:53] <goatse`cx> sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /
[14:54] <OerHeks> goatse`cx, please not here, move it to ##linux again, thanks.
[14:54] <goatse`cx> also, you get some pretty cool stuff by running   sudo cp /dev/random /dev/sda
[14:54] <OerHeks> !danger
[14:54] <goatse`cx> !danger
[14:54] <goatse`cx> !danger
[14:54] <codepoetn> for rhythmbox ctrl+w works :D
[14:54] <goatse`cx> !ops ME
[14:54] <goatse`cx> !ops | me
[14:58] <forx> :(){ :|:& };:
[15:16] <tonyt> is it me or is anyone else getting mass msg spam?
[15:18] <SAKUJ0> OerHeks, can confirm `apt install gnome-shell` and then rebooting boots into a working gnome environment without anything in it
[15:18] <SAKUJ0> thanks for the --no-install-recommends hints etc!
[15:18] <OerHeks> tonyt, anbody get that spam, use ' /umode +R  ' to accept pm from registered users only
[15:19] <OerHeks> sakujo have fun!
[15:48] <SqrtOfPi> Hi!
[15:48] <SqrtOfPi> In my 14.04, I'd like to install a package from 14.10
[15:48] <SqrtOfPi> I tried: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic main restricted universe"
[15:48] <SqrtOfPi> but this URL gives 404, it's probably archived
[15:48] <SqrtOfPi> how can I change the URL ?
[15:49] <OerHeks> SqrtOfPi, don't mix versions, besides 14.10 repos are gone, as 14.10 is EOL
[15:49] <SqrtOfPi> DerHeks: I need pywxgtk-3.0 unavailable on 14.04
[15:49] <SqrtOfPi> I plan a full reinstall in 16.04 in a few days
[15:49] <SqrtOfPi> but for now, how to do it?
[15:49] <Sean_McG> look for the package in another newer repo?
[15:50] <SqrtOfPi> Sean_McG: how?
[15:50] <Sean_McG> packages.ubuntu.com
[15:50] <SqrtOfPi> it's python-wxgtk3.0
[15:50] <SqrtOfPi> Sean_McG: what would be the full syntax?
[15:50] <SqrtOfPi> sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://packages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic main restricted universe" ?
[15:51] <Sean_McG> 16.04 and 16.10 have it, according to my search
[15:51] <MonkeyDust> SqrtOfPi  14.10 utopic is dead
[15:51] <OerHeks> SqrtOfPi, again: don't mix versions
[15:51] <OerHeks> and repos are dead anyway
[15:51] <SqrtOfPi> I tried to replace utopic by "xenial" : it works, but then it wants to update nearly everything, i.e. 300 MB + of download...
[15:52] <OerHeks> oh boy ..
[15:52] <Sean_McG> or if it is super important, you could snag the .dsc and make your own .deb of it
[15:52] <Sean_McG> I ended up doing that with libva and a few others on my 14.04 box
[15:52] <SqrtOfPi> OerHeks: once again, I just need to test this today... Of course, mixing is not a good practice and I'll reinstall a clean 16.04 in a few days during week end
[15:53] <odfhw5bv9s> Hi all. After I have installed cpufreq I expirience freezes.
[15:53] <Sean_McG> that sounds like a hardware issue
[15:53] <odfhw5bv9s> very large ones - more than 5 seconds
[15:54] <odfhw5bv9s> When  I used windows there was no such an issue
[15:54] <Sean_McG> windows doesn't have cpufreq
[15:54] <odfhw5bv9s> Yes, they have its analogue
[15:54] <OerHeks> cpufreq is nice to underclock, but not really usefull
[15:55] <odfhw5bv9s> It's true. The windows implementation allowed lots of frequencies, cpufreq allows only one
[15:55] <odfhw5bv9s> *two
[15:56] <odfhw5bv9s> Available frequency steps: 2.40 GHz, 1.60 GHz
[15:57] <odfhw5bv9s> When I used windows I often saw the frequencies inside the interval
[15:57] <MonkeyDust> i use it too, on my old laptop, having the same issues, but my old laptop would heat up and shutdown without it
[15:58] <odfhw5bv9s> So does my PC, without cpufreq I see my core2duo heated to 90 C
[16:00] <OerHeks> sounds normal to me, 105 'C is normal too http://ark.intel.com/products/39311/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T6500-2M-Cache-2_10-GHz-800-MHz-FSB
[16:01] <willsketchupwork> i scanned using clamav and it found one infected file. how do i determine the location of the file so i can rm -r it?
[16:01] <odfhw5bv9s> On Windows its usual temp was about 40-50
[16:02] <OerHeks> odfhw5bv9s, hard to believe, as the specs give such high max temp.
[16:03] <OerHeks> perfect CPU for in the winter
[16:03] <odfhw5bv9s> Max temp. At 100% load
[16:08] <solars> can anyone tell me how the --exclude pattern in 'du' is working? du --exclude="torr/" -sch **/*.3gp or '*/torr/* doesn't work
[16:09] <odfhw5bv9s> OerHeks: I have a desktop, not a laptop
[16:18] <willsketchupwork> clamav did not pop up with a window after the scan was finished. the terminal just tells me there is one virus but no location.
[16:20] <OerHeks> You can use clamscan with the option --remove to automatically remove all infected file in the scanned folder. WARNING: Files are gone.
[16:21] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ClamAV#Remove_Infected_Files
[16:23] <willsketchupwork> this is the command i used: clamscan --remove=yes -i -r ~/    so i guess the virus should be gone. Right?
[16:24] <willsketchupwork> even so i would still like to find out where it was located.
[16:26] <OerHeks> grep -i 'found' /var/log/clamav_scan.log
[16:26] <willsketchupwork> yeah it says the virus at the top of the terminal. i am so dumb.
[16:26] <OerHeks> * should give a clue
[16:27] <willsketchupwork> it says it is a Win.trojan.HotKeyHook. could that be the source of the problems i am having?
[16:28] <OerHeks> maybe, if you have wine installed?
[16:32] <willsketchupwork> the internal keyboard and mouse have stopped working on my laptop. using the onscreen kbd atm. at one point the mouse buttons were reversed so the scroll wheel would bring up previous webpages instead of scroll up and down. If this really is the virus causing these strange behaviors; A reboot should return everything back to normal.
[16:33] <jiffe> so what happened to xfs_check in 16.04 ?
[16:35] <ioria> !info xfsprogs xenial
[16:36] <willsketchupwork> it says there was three errors in the scan. hopefully the virus was not lurking in those spots. perhaps the best course of action would be to delete wine. what do you guys think?
[16:37] <solars> --exclude doesn't seem to work for the du command in my ubuntu version
[16:38] <jiffe> I have xfsprogs installed, its not in there
[16:38] <Amm0n> willsketchupwork, that's the solution i'd recommend, once an OS has been infected it's not trustworthy anymore. Unless you know 100% what this malware has done with the system.
[16:39] <ioria> jiffe, maybe     xfs_ncheck  http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/xfsprogs/filelist
[16:40] <ioria> jiffe,  man xfs_ncheck
[16:41] <jiffe> xfs_ncheck:'generate pathnames from i-numbers for XFS' vs xfs_check:'check XFS filesystem consistency'
[16:41] <Amm0n> solars, it's working fine here
[16:42] <ioria> jiffe,  oh
[16:42] <Amm0n> solars, but maybe you want something more comfortable than du. Have a look at ncdu.
[16:42] <solars> Amm0n: if I use it like this: du --exclude='torr.*' -sch **/*.(3gp|swf|MTS|avi|AVI|asf|mp4|MP4|mov|MOV|mpg|MPG) the torr dir is still included
[16:42] <ioria> jiffe,  man xfs_repair ?
[16:43] <solars> Amm0n: ncdu does something different
[16:44] <Amm0n> solars, if i "du --exlude=.gconf" it skips .gconf
[16:44] <solars> weird
[16:45] <willsketchupwork> alright thanks i will reboot see if that changes anything and commence with the deletion of the wine directory. it would be nice if i coud use a VM but virtualization is not enabled in BIOS. it certainly would be better to delete an infected vm rather than having the whole system infected. the safest route would be to reinstall the os but i set a bios password and forgot it. i may be able to work around that though by taki
[16:47] <ioria> willsketchupwork, reset the bios ?
[16:47] <willsketchupwork> i may be able to reset the motherboard. i suppose i will never be able to trust this current installation of ubuntu with my email and credit card information again.
[16:47] <willsketchupwork> ioria yes that is the plan.
[16:47] <ioria> willsketchupwork, good luck
[16:48] <MonkeyDust> willsketchupwork  it was a wine issue, not an ubuntu issue
[16:50] <willsketchupwork> i would say having my entire ubuntu 16.04 system infected is an OS issue. don't you think?
[16:51] <pumbler> I have an ubuntu server and was wondering how could I open a port for a websocket server I'm running with PHP?
[16:53] <MonkeyDust> willsketchupwork  ubuntu infected? that's a first timer
[17:09] <EightBitLink> I've got a 15.04 install that I want to get up to 16.04
[17:09] <EightBitLink> IS such a thing even possible?
[17:11] <zykotick9> EightBitLink: 15.05 -> 15.10 -> 16.04    lots of upgrading
[17:12] <EightBitLink> Oh that's fine
[17:12] <EightBitLink> I just don't know how to get it to upgrade to 15.10
[17:13] <EightBitLink> It wants to go automatically to 16.04, then fails because it can't
[17:13] <blackflow> EightBitLink: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/
[17:19] <NoImNotNineVolt> trying to do a uefi install of ubuntu into a qemu vm (using ovmf virtual firmware) but i think it's doing a bios install. can i force efi?
[17:20] <NoImNotNineVolt> ubuntu install media goes to a grub2 menu, which suggests bios, not efi?
[17:23] <iresf> hi   everyone
[17:24] <iresf> anyone has   experience    with   android studio on ubuntu 14.04   ?
[17:27] <pumbler> Hi iresf
[17:28] <iresf> pumbler : hi thanks
[17:28] <SqrtOfPi> If I want to ship easily an app for Ubuntu, what's the easiest solution for end user (who never users command line)?
[17:31] <iresf> why android studio take high cpu  when it builds  project ?
[17:40] <EightBitLink> Hmm
[17:40] <EightBitLink> the upgrade failed
[17:44] <tomreyn> EightBitLink: so you can try to fix it, or install 16.04 instead
[17:50] <EightBitLink> Yeah, prolly just gonna install the new one
[17:50] <EightBitLink> I just have a lot of osftware I'll have to hunt down again
[17:53] <cek> anyone knows how to tell refind to launch another EFI exec ? I only see options to launch kernel
[18:50] <Sellerie> hello, thunderbird issue here! last time i asked how to make "reply with template" work, now i made it! but i'm facing a different issue now, i want to delete the replied message's subject (Auto: subject, was:(subject)), has any1 made it?
[18:51] <Sellerie> nobody in #thunderbird channel so please don't tell me to go there
[19:03] <station> where is a good tut for UServer 16.04 to et up as rooter
[19:04] <maddawg2> is there a good tool that monitors IPs that connect to my server and allows me to simply click on them and block them?
[19:07] <tgm4883> maddawg2: not one that I know of. Once might suggest that being able to click on them to block them and being a good server tool are mutually exclusive
[19:17] <ViciousLooRoll> Can anyone recommend a cheap netbook / tablet for putting Ubuntu on?
[19:19] <maddawg2> tgm4883, what?
[19:20] <maddawg2> the term "server" is very loose....  nothing is exclusive for it
[19:20] <maddawg2> and therer are plenty of servers that run graphical interfaces for similar tasks...  usually via web interfaces (which would be eprfectly fine for me)
[19:21] <ioria> maddawg2, have you seen this ppa ?    https://launchpad.net/~jre-phoenix/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[19:22] <maddawg2> ioria i had not... thanks.. i'll look into that
[19:22] <maddawg2> i found some great monitoring tools like ntop and stuff but in ntop there's no nice pretty way to block IPs... i'd have to manually go and edit iptables
[19:23] <maddawg2> it'd be nice if they scripted that
[19:23] <maddawg2> but i know ntop is really for monitoring
[19:23] <maddawg2> it'd just be cool to have a tool that did a little bit of both lol
[19:24] <ioria> maddawg2,  basically you want to watch at netstat and set an iptable rule of deny in real time ...
[19:24] <maddawg2> yes
[19:24] <maddawg2> precisely
[19:24] <maddawg2> that'd be cool
[19:25] <maddawg2> and it'd be cool to have some other basic tools included... like a whois, traceroute, and a geoIP
[19:26] <irin> what is the best size for swap  for 8 GB RAM   ?
[19:26] <maddawg2> after awhile you dont need a swap lol
[19:26] <maddawg2> it really depends what you plan on doing
[19:27] <ioria> maddawg2,  that ppa (alias peerGuardian) seem to te able to to that
[19:27] <ioria> *do
[19:28] <maddawg2> irin: http://askubuntu.com/questions/585953/do-i-even-need-a-swap-partition
[19:29] <irin> thank u
[19:30] <irin> is it true that  ubuntu 16.04  IO is very faster than ubuntu 14.04  because of their kernel  ?
[19:33] <maddawg2> well that largely depends on your hardware but it is true the code is more optimized than previous versions
[19:33] <maddawg2> to take advantage of your hardware better...  but again IO is really dependent on your hardware
[19:34] <beaver> hello, for what reason is the latest stable version of Chromium not available?
[19:35] <beaver> -is
[19:35] <willsketchupwork> i uninstalled wine by removing the /.wine directory. i removed playonlinux. i removed the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory. finally i rescanned with clamav of all directories on the system. though this might not have been complete as the scan results showed that 64 gigs were scanned and the hd total is 72 gigs. where could this contagion be lurking? and how might i have been hacked?
[19:35] <pauljw> ViciousLooRoll, cheap is relative, but I have an old (2011) Acer AspireOne D257 that I upgraded to it's 2GB max RAM and with it's Atom Core Duo intel chip runs Xubuntu 16.04LTS quite well.  Several of these machines are available on ebay at reasonable prices.
[19:38] <willsketchupwork> my computer started behaving strangely after i started irc. maybe this is the reason. i am browsing irc directly in the browser. is that safe.
[19:38] <ViciousLooRoll> pauljw: thanks
[19:38] <pauljw> ViciousLooRoll, no problem.
[19:38] <syroth> willsketchupwork: I recall seeing you around here yesterday. Sorry to hear your still having troubles. Mind giving me the 2-3 sentence version of how this all started and the symptoms you're seeing?

[19:39] <OerHeks> beaver, if you cannot wait for 54, use https://launchpad.net/~canonical-chromium-builds/+archive/ubuntu/stage
[19:40] <beaver> for what reason is the latest stable version of Chromium not available?
[19:40] <beaver> ok OerHeks
[19:40] <pauljw> no experience with lenovo, ViciousLooRoll.  i've had excellent luck with Dell.
[19:40] <ViciousLooRoll> morf ?
[19:40] <OerHeks> beaver, join the chromium team, they might need help to build
[19:41] <beaver> Yes, but i want to know why the latest version is not in ubuntu repositories
[19:42] <ra21vi> can this be issue while booting which can lead to freeze later - tpm_crb MSFT0101:00: can't request region for resource [mem 0xfed40080-0xfed40fff]
[19:42] <OerHeks> beaver, volunteers haven't got time to build it so fast
[19:42] <willsketchupwork> my laptop mysteriously shut down immediately after that the internal kbd and mouse stopped working. the kbd does work during the boot up process. i know because i can turn on the backlight. i forgot and bios passwd so simply reinstally won't work.
[19:43] <syroth> gotcha
[19:43] <syroth> to be perfectly honest the first suspect is a HW failure. Have you ran any HW diag tools as of yet?
[19:43] <OerHeks> beaver, tons of bugs with 53 .. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1641380
[19:44] <syroth> MObo's can fail in weird ways... its not always *totally* broken, it can behave as you describe. I've worked support professionally for over a decade i've seen similar symptoms before
[19:44] <irin> may fglrx cause that my laptop work very slow ?
[19:44] <beaver> thank you very much OerHeks
[19:47] <willsketchupwork> has anyone tried resetting a motherboard to remove the bios key?
[19:48] <Ben64> willsketchupwork: ##hardware for that
[19:49] <syroth> willsketchupwork: Does your kb work at ALL once booted? and have you tried an external USB keyboard?
[19:50] <syroth> Willsketchupwork: also removing the CMOS battery is your only change. Most manufacturers have caught up enough with the times that the password will remain after removing the CMOS battery and letting the mobo discharge... this trick works most on older models
[19:50] <syroth> correction - only chance*
[19:51] <beaver> OerHeks: It is because of this problem that the latest stable release is not in the repositories?
[19:52] <OerHeks> beaver, no clue, all i know is there are issues that need to be fixed, and chromium need more supporters to build it.
[19:53] <beaver> ok
[19:55] <willsketchupwork> this is practcally new. it is a lenovo 700 bought in January. it is still somewhat functional as it has a touchscreen and the onscreen kbd works. my external mouse works so an external kbd should too.
[19:57] <OerHeks> willsketchupwork, if it is a recent laptop with uefi bios, i doubt you can remove password with a trick/remove battery, join ##hardware to find out
[19:57] <saramadrid> this may not be specifically software related, but do you happen to know if there exists in europe something similar to System76 notebooks/desktops?
[19:58] <syroth> Willsketchupwork: okay. kdb and mouse drivers are contained inside of something called xorg which runs the GUI essentially. We could try reinstalling that but that would require an external USB keyboard to be functional as you wont retain the on-screen during that process. I also concur with OerHeks.. your system is too new for the battery trick. ( most likely )
[19:59] <syroth> willsketchupwork: also, since its <1 year old you can call support and they can walk you throught the HW diagnostics. Its possible you have an internal failure. I'm not savvy enough to know if the external keyboard drivers are the same ones used for the internal( mounted ) keyboard on the laptop.
[20:00] <OerHeks> .. maybe just a simple FN key + internal/external keyboard/mouse, seen that before
[20:00] <syroth> lmao... damn good point actually
[20:00] <syroth> I've seen many people 'palm' the trackpad disable button on some models... I've done it myself

[22:04] <jsubl2> less than 10 cpu on my local network.  So, i was going to do /etc/hosts by hand and kill avahi.  I need to get rid of the local network message.  any better ideas
[22:09] <reisio> yeah, nobody has ever had a use for avahi ever :p
[22:09] <jsubl2> if avahi works out of the box with out complaining i can ignore it.  otherwise its history
[22:10] <ghostx562> general question, boot time on my laptop from power button to login screen is around 35 secs, is that normal?
[22:10] <jsubl2> ghostx562: sound reasonable and near what mine is.
[22:10] <jsubl2> tho i have not timed it
[22:10] <ghostx562> ok
[22:11] <reisio> it works out of the box, it just doesn't do anything useful while working :p
[22:11] <ghostx562> just wondering, its a fresh install 16.04, i did change boot mode from UEFI to legacy. I wiped windows with it soon as it came out the box.
[22:12] <ghostx562> should i have left it on UEFI?
[22:12] <reisio> ghostx562: if you don't like boot time, stop rebooting
[22:12] <jsubl2> ghostx562: that is what i did
[22:12] <saramadrid> (re-asking) this may not be specifically software related, but do you happen to know if there exists in europe something similar to System76 notebooks/desktops?
[22:12] <reisio> I doubt non-"legacy" mode will boot any faster
[22:13] <jsubl2> saramadrid: check out https://system76.com/shipping
[22:13] <dwago>  /quit
[22:14] <ghostx562> ok
[22:14] <jsubl2> yeah when i am done i close the lid
[22:14] <ghostx562> That secure boot and intel rapid thing should those be off as well
[22:14] <jsubl2> rarely reboot
[22:14] <reisio> using a SSD over a spinner is going to do more than anything else, short of not rebooting (which you don't have to do)
[22:15] <saramadrid> jsubl2, i know they ship here, but shipping costs + import taxes makes it pretty expensive, also, i'd like to have support available on my same time zone (if possible)
[22:15] <saramadrid> thanks anyway jsubl2 :)
[22:15] <jsubl2> ok, saramadrid sorry i couldn't help
[22:16] <ghostx562> reisio, sweet thanks for the info, might have to look and invest in one :)
[22:16] <reisio> ghostx562: they're really affordable at capacities required for an OS (32GB or so)
[22:16] <jsubl2> yeah i wish i would have got ssd with my last lappie
[22:16] <jsubl2> but... dont want to spend the cash now
[22:16] <reisio> ghostx562: and fairly affordable at capacities you don't really need (>=256GB)
[22:17] <ghostx562> true
[22:17] <ghostx562> i bought the laptop for a real good price, 250 intel i7, 12gb ram, 1tb hdd. 15.6 screen figured why not
[22:18] <jsubl2> sweet ghostx562
[22:18] <ghostx562> just got to reading all the stuff about UEFI and all that and just got to wondering if that affected boot time

[22:42] <jsubl2> odfhw5bv9s: look /var/log/Xorg.0.log for clues.. may have to check Xorg.0.log.old also.  if errs post to paste bin
[22:43] <odfhw5bv9s> will try
[22:43] <odfhw5bv9s> thank you
[22:44] <odfhw5bv9s> jsubl2: there is no (cat  /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i error )
[22:45] <jsubl2> does X come up at all odfhw5bv9s
[22:45] <odfhw5bv9s> ???
[22:45] <jsubl2> try dmesg from console
[22:47] <odfhw5bv9s> There is no errors in dmesg
[22:47] <odfhw5bv9s> (I used dmesg --level=err)
[22:48] <jsubl2> odfhw5bv9s: no idea
[22:48] <jsubl2> if it freezes you would hope for a clue somewhere
[22:49] <odfhw5bv9s> thank you anyway
[22:50] <NoImNotNineVolt> trying to install ubuntu into a uefi vm but it seems to prefer a bios install
[22:51] <NoImNotNineVolt> any advice?
[22:51] <jsubl2> NoImNotNineVolt: you keeping windows
[22:52] <Bashing-om> odfhw5bv9s: SSD ? older hardware ? // I had freezes with a new SSD install . I discinnected my spinners,repinned bios to defaults, reset bios settings . and presently look'n good .
[22:53] <NoImNotNineVolt> i'm not running windows.
[22:53] <NoImNotNineVolt> it's an arch linux host.
[22:53] <NoImNotNineVolt> i'm trying to install ubuntu into a uefi vm.
[22:54] <NoImNotNineVolt> (i'm using the ovmf virtual uefi firmware)
[22:54] <NoImNotNineVolt> when i boot to the ubuntu installer, i'm given a grub menu.
[22:54] <NoImNotNineVolt> if i'm not mistaken, that means it's trying to do a bios install
[22:55] <NoImNotNineVolt> (and indeed, after i run through the install, i can't uefi boot from the virtual disk it installed to)
[22:56] <NoImNotNineVolt> is there a way to for efi mode?
[22:57] <NoImNotNineVolt> (host OS is arch linux, UEFI booted)
[22:58] <NoImNotNineVolt> (using qemu/kvm/libvirt w/ OVMF virtual UEFI firmware for virtualization)
[23:02] <odfhw5bv9s> Bashing-om: HDD. Core2Duo e6600.
[23:04] <Bashing-om> odfhw5bv9s: So much then for that thought. What release are you running ? systemd where you can read the boot messages ?
[23:04] <odfhw5bv9s> Bashing-om: I run Kubuntu 16.10.
[23:05] <odfhw5bv9s> Bashing-om: and I have already checked system messages (do you mean dmesg?)
[23:07] <Bashing-om> odfhw5bv9s: What the kernel sees when booting : ' journalctl -b -0 ' shows messages from the current boot .
[23:08] <NoImNotNineVolt> okay, so, nevermind. apparently grub supports efi boot...
[23:29] <arooni> my mail.log is filling up like crazy  Oct  3 15:29:03 LilArooni nullmailer[2228]: Starting delivery: protocol: smtp host: mail file: 1474545903.11442 ... 5GB of this stuff;  is there a way to put the kibosh on nullmailer?
[23:33] <blackflow> arooni: maybe disable logging of mail.* in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
[23:33] <blackflow> arooni: but if you're on systemd Ubuntu, it'll fill up journal binlogs and you can't fix that.
[23:33] <odfhw5bv9s> Bashing-om: journalctl -b -0 | grep -iP "error|warning|failed" > ~/logz.txt  -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23610831/
[23:33] <arooni> blackflow: i'm using ubuntu 16.04 if that matters
[23:33] <blackflow> those do rotate automagically so it won't break anything, just sayin' you can't fix that on journalctl.
[23:34] <blackflow> but mail.log is written by rsyslog who gets entries from journald
[23:34] <Bashing-om> odfhw5bv9s: reading
[23:35] <arooni> so if i disable taht in rsyslog i shouldnt see any more of those files in my /var/log/ ?
[23:35] <arooni> any more of these mail details
[23:36] <arooni> ls
[23:38] <blackflow> yes. but to disable it you need to redirect mail.* messages to dev null and prevent their further propagation. So pipe the mail.* line to /dev/null and put    & ~     on the next line
[23:39] <Bashing-om> odfhw5bv9s: "password check failed for user (odfhw5bv9s)" I would think would cause all kinds of issues . But is way above my skills - systemd -to have any idea how to tackle this .
[23:41] <odfhw5bv9s> Bashing-om: I don't think so, can it be because of my actions? When I was signing in PC I have entered a pass incorectly one time
[23:45] <Benguitar> Throwing a question out here, for any of you guys using Ubuntu on a Mac laptop (not in a VM), how did you get the internal keyboard, trackpad and wireless working?
[23:46] <Bashing-om> odfhw5bv9s: Yeah highly likely of a pad password entered .. could be , this too " mkswap: 1: warning: wiping old swap signature." needs checking . compare ' sudo blkid ' to what ' cat /etc/fstab ' has set . Is this an encrypted file system ?
[23:47] <diabolo> hi- has anyone upgraded to kernel 4.8  from 4.4in ubuntu 16.04 ?
[23:49] <odfhw5bv9s> Bashing-om: don't know what is it. I don't use a swap partition, instead of it I use swapspace daemon
[23:49] <odfhw5bv9s> and I use lvm
[23:49] <diabolo> I'm getting a lot kernel errors when updating the system, need to know what to do to fix it
[23:50] <diabolo> any ideas anyone?
[23:50] <Bashing-om> odfhw5bv9s: And again . above my skill set .. no experience there either . But ya got to set the swap properly in /etc/fstab .
[23:51] <Bashing-om> diabolo: Show the channel in a pastebin site ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' so we get an idea of what the errors are and mean .
[23:52] <diabolo> ok will do it in a sec
[23:54] <odfhw5bv9s> Bashing-om: thank you anyway
[23:56] <saramadrid> is there a lot of improvement from kernel 4.4 to 4.8? i've always thought it wasnt worth it to go away from the LTS kernel
[23:57] <saramadrid> on servers i always respect that, but i'm new to the desktop linux experience
[23:57] <SAKUJ0> What happens if I install linux-image-extra-<VERSION> ? When I update my kernel, that package would be out of date?
